Girlkitten is dead

Run over by speeding car right outside our house this morning. The neighbours saw it happen and rescued her body. We are on holiday - all our lovely friends have rallied around and taken her to the vet. They have shut Boykitten in the house with a litter tray and keeping him in until we get home.

I am devastated - she was MY cat. She was a feisty wee thing and the rest of the family were a bit wary of her but she and I bonded. I work at home and every day at 110:00 and 15:00 she'd leap up on the desk with a chirrup, roll herself into the crook of my left arm, lie on her back and put my chin until I scritched her. She'd go in absolute conniptions and drool all over my elbow.

SHe was only 8 months old. I keep ducking into corners to weep.

I am dreading going home to sort out what to do with the body. The vet says we can view but I don't think I can.

We get home at the weekend. Sad

Yes, she was still a kitten really - leggy and growing but still very frisky and adventurous.

I would have put money on Boykit getting hit - he is so trusting and dopey , he would sit in the road. But witnesses say Girlkit didn't stand a chance.

Here she is, doing her love-in while I worked.

Oh, I'm so sorry ShutUpLegs.

What a beautiful kitty she was.

So sorry. It takes a long time to get over it. The person who killed my Benjy lived near me. My neighbours know who it is but haven't told me. It wouldn't help to know but I have heard them telling others what they think of the culprit. They have quite strong views.

Poor you, it is awful enough when they are elderly. Have as much wine as you need.

So sorry Flowers.
